The Spring Crops.

Now that the season of preparation
for spring crops is approaching rapidly
it would be valuable assistance to
some-we dare say many-farmers to
have the experience of some of their
neighbors who have been successful
above the averagei in raising some one
or more of the numerous farm crops.
Such would confer lasting benefit to
many brother farmers if they would
impart this knowledge through one or
more short articles prepared for publ.
cation in the MIDLAND. Now let us see
who among that class ofour readers cares
enough fer the welfare of their fellow
tOilers to impart the information which
has benefited them so much, and which
by giving to others will not make the
giver poorer, and may greatly aid his
brother farmers in lettering their con-
aition; by giving them larger and
better crop.

Percheron Horses.

The Montgomery County Farmers
Club have reached the conclusion that
the Percheron still stands at the head
OF farm stock most desirable for this To-.
cality. One member has come to the
conclusion that one OF the surest meth
DDS Of making our farming more profit
able, would be to raise tirst-rate or :
Percheron colts, which would find a
ready market at $50 before even being
broken, and could be kept to that age
at little more cost than $50 steer.
Ilolsteins outrank al other breeds for
milk, and rival the Jerseys for cream
and butter. In that county Gov. Ham
ilton has introduced the practice of
thrashing corn fodder drumming it thro'
thrashing machine we presume) in
preference to cutting it, and the method
is being adopted by farmers who pre-
fer the thrashed to cut fodder.

Our Agricultural Periodicals, and
do They PayP

'Sam," in the Ohio Farmer for Feb.
II, makes the following point which
was gathered during the institute work
during the past winter in Wisconsin ::
There is one township in that State
where not an agricultural paper is TAX
en-, and the average price of butter for
the year was 103 cents. In another
township, 2l4 agricultural papers are
taken, costing about $3.50, and their
butter sold at an average of 23s cts, the
same year. AS the amount sold in each
township was not greatly different, it
shows that, by paying $3.50 for intelli
gence, they received for it the dividend
of $500 over the township that takes
no papers. In other words, the farmers
who saved $3.50 by not taking farm
papers actually paid $500 by being too
smart to take such papers. Besides the
matter of butter, how much benefit did
the others receive in other crops? And
besides the crops, regarded from dol
lar-and-cents view, what has been the
effect of I'll periodicals on the boys
and girls' Still further, our agricul-
tural press, as whole, is striking heavy
blows for righteousness and godliness
excepting few of them on the tobac-
co question, but it is only very few
The time is mostly gone by when it
was fashionable to sneer at ''book farm
ing" 1 hope the agricultural press
will pass this item around; and if it
shall happen to fit townships in other
States as we'll as Wisconsin, let us have
it widely copied.-Gleanangs.

The SquaW Mem Must Go.

1t is evident that with tho advance
ment OF civilization among the Indians,
the "squaw men" must become a thing
of the past. Daring the summer and
fall just ended many complaints have
come to the secretary of the interior to
the effect that the work ofallotting lands
to the Indians had been greatly hndered
by the opposition of the Indians led by
''squaw men," or white men who had
married Indian women and acquired
property and influence in the tribes in
which thew had resided. To limit the
powers of these people who, under the
s1veralty act, would be able to accumu

in as members of the tribes. Senator
Dawes introduced a bill, which was
referred to the committee on Indian
affairs, it provides that any white man
who hereafter marries an Indian woman

become the owner of or gain an interest
in any tribal property, or become the

TO BUY AND WHAT TO BUY.
WHAT %ExPEBIENcE TEACHES Is BEST.

There is something to consider in the daily
expenses for the household necessities, which
in the aggregate Of the year amount to q good
deal. The ethics Of buying and selling seem
to be for the vendor to get all he can, and for
the purchaser to see that he don't get too
much. But what is too much? It Is almost
q profound question, and presents the strange
paradox that the dearest In many things is
often the cheapest. Certainly this is SO in
food where health is involved, and in rene
dies which restore health after It has been
impaired. It is certainly so in clothing; for
a cheap suit that will hardly last ono season Is
dearer than the one which will last two sea-
sons, the difference in price being reasonable.
So in shoes, and the like. Recurring to the
items Of food and health, undoubtedly the
most important, It is found that ~villainous
much that is sold, and men are known who
have spent thousands to be cured of disease,
have suffered years of agony, and have triied
away their substance on worthless remedies.
That which is testified to by thousands as be-
ing an absolute cure, and permanently effica-
cious, is cheap at any price in comparison
with such as have no virtue, and which pro-
